The jury of the Colour Award 2012 announces that they have decided to give the award of the year to
the renovation of Nørrebro Park Skole by EFM8, arkitekter as and Malene Bach, visual artist. Together
architects and artist have succeeded in making three entirely di erent buildings form a whole, in a way that
can serve as a model. An educational environment has been created, which on a daily basis can inspire its
users and at the same time provide the possibility for being at ease and keeping focus. Several instruments
have been put into use, carefully adjusted to one another, without being exaggerated. The project thereby
appears as an outstanding and wholehearted piece of work.

AN ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT THAT OPENS
DOORS … AND TUNES THE MIND FOR
PLAYING AND LEARNING
The present publication describes an integrated
art project at Nørrebro Park School, Copenhagen.
The ambitious project, for which the artist
Malene Bach is responsible, weaves its way into
the architecture and the life that unfolds within
it, in a most exemplary way.

Nørrebro Park School constitutes an integrated art project,
emphasizing the architectonic qualities of the buildings
through genuine, creative colouristic and ornamental solutions
to stimulate play and learning. The project was created by
visual artist Malene Bach in collaboration with Copenhagen
City Properties, The Children and Youth Administration, and
EFM8, arkitekter as. The project came into being in
connection with the 2010 merger between Jagtvejen School
and Havremarken School.

After the merger Nørrebro Park School consists of three school
buildings from three di erent periods: two older constructions
and a new building. Eova, has been responsible for both the
expansion and the renovation. Each building posseses its own
distinct character. Each was, to a certain extent, constructed
according to the dominant architectonic and didactic principles
of its day. The oldest school building dates back to 1888: a
stately red brick building, rich in detailing. This building was
accompanied in 1977 by yet another building in red brick; clad
only with bricks this time. Architecturally, this additional
building presents a simpler expression due to the profusion of
in situ-cast concrete surfaces. Nova5’s new school building,
which has now been added to the two others, is also a
concrete construction. Here the in situ-cast concrete of the
1970s’ building has been replaced by prefabricated concrete
elements with a slate-grey brick facing. Like the two older
buildings, the arrangement of the plan and the choice of
materials used in its elaboration are typical of its period
complying with the prevalent architectonic and pedagogical
requirements and ideals prevalent at the time of construction.

The programme underlying the architectonic and artistic
project sought to preserve the salient characteristics of the
two older buildings while simultaneously increasing internal
coherence between the two existing constructions and the new
addition. Although the colouristic and ornamental solutions
vary, there is a distinct sense of cohesion between all three
buildings both in terms of colour scheme and the choice of
materials. Thus the artistic work underpins the character, idiom
and construction materials of each individual building while
elucidating both speci c functions and their interrelations.

Linoleum is a recurrent material throughout the school. It has
been used on oors, folding walls and bulletin boards. Linoleum
is an environmentally friendly and hard-wearing material, an
obvious choice for institutional constructions. It is available
in a wide variety of colour nuances, colour mixtures and
textures. These material properties o er the possibility of
integrating linoleum products into the decor in a way that fuses
the aesthetic and functional aspects of the building into a
synthesis. Malene Bach has previously collaborated with the
manufacturer and supplier, Forbo Flooring Systems, in an
exhibition project titled DIAMOND in 2010. Hence she brought
to the project a thorough knowledge of the company and their
line of products and was able to come up with new ideas for
utilising Forbo’s wide assortment of patterns and nuances.
This previous collaboration provided insights that were
expanded and further developed in the integrated decoration
of the school.

Malene Bach’s artistic work at Nørrebro Park School is
groundbreaking and innovative in the sense that it comprises
a vital renewal of the standard architectonic repertoire. She is
acutely aware of the aesthetic and functional potential of the
di erent building elements and manages to utilise them to
their optimal e ect. A case in point is that of the folding walls,
which were custom-made for this project. They constitute an
integral part of the overall artistic program. However, since
their surfaces are panelled with coloured bulletin boards, they
also serve an additional practical purpose. Another example of
this double (if not triple) function is articulated in the acoustic
panels that function as part of the school’s integrated décor
with colour schemes and geometric designs that simultaneously
explicate speci c places and de ne their atmosphere – creating
a pleasant environment in both an aesthetic and acoustic sense.
The acoustic panels – which were devised and developed in
collaboration with the manufacturer, Moelven – have now been
put into production, and they stand forth as a prime example
of important contributions to be made by visual artists in
developing and shaping the architectonic framework of
everyday life.

In connection with the renovation and expansion of Nørrebro
Park School, the Municipality of Copenhagen set aside funds
for artistic work. Nova5 invited Malene Bach to be in charge of
this part of the project. The fact that Malene Bach was involved
at a very early phase of the process allowed the artistic side
of the project to be developed in close dialogue with all
stakeholders: the users, the entrepreneur, and the architects.
Thus the artistic processes were integrated into the actual
architectural design and construction project, rather than
constituting an afterthought or a supplement. The result is
so well integrated into the architecture that it can barely be
referred to as a work of art in the conventional sense. The
artwork simply cannot be distinguished or isolated from its
site-speci c context. This type of intervention is special in
the sense that it constitutes an integral and inseparable part
of the environment which it serves to simultaneously shape
and amplify. The art weaves its way into the architectural form
and function – on both a concrete and abstract level – and
cannot be dissociated from it. Hence the artistic work can
no longer be considered a mere decorative supplement to
architecture.

Neither colour nor ornament are employed in a schematic
fashion. Their application is based on a sensitive registration
and interpretation of past, present and possible future. The
artist’s intention behind the artistically integrated colour
scheme is to call forth a stimulating environment to encourage
pupils and teachers to use their intellect while enlivening their
imagination. The programmatic objective is to welcome and
embrace the pupils without fencing them in. The school
is intended to be a pleasant place, promoting work and
concentration. In a school environment for children ranging
in ages from 5–16 years, it is important that the children – as
well as the adults, of course – are stimulated, not only
intellectually but also through their senses and intuition.
The integrated use of colour and geometry stimulates the
imagination and provides the pupils at Nørrebro Park School
with several layers to explore within both the individual rooms
and the internal logic of the buildings.
